Rick Caruso, a well-known property developer and former LA mayoral candidate, has joined others in criticizing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for leaving the city ahead of a powerful windstorm fueling wildfires.
Mayor Bass departed for a diplomatic trip to Africa over the weekend, despite warnings from the National Weather Service about extreme wind and fire conditions in Los Angeles. As wildfires spread, Caruso and others questioned the mayor's decision to leave and not return early.
